The Provision of Christ
Romans 5:17-19
17: For
if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how
much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of
the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18: Consequently,
just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the
result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for
all men.
19: For
just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners,
so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
(NIV)
Romans 14:9
9: For
this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the
Lord of both the dead and the living.
(NIV)
John 14:6-7
6: Jesus
answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.
7: If
you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do
know him and have seen him."
(NIV)
